+    Get IPMI chassis status data and return it as a dictionary.
+
+    The data is obtained by issuing the IPMI "chassis status" command. An
+    example is shown below:
+
+    System Power              : off
+    Power Overload            : false
+    Power Interlock           : inactive
+    Main Power Fault          : false
+    Power Control Fault       : false
+    Power Restore Policy      : previous
+    Last Power Event          :
+    Chassis Intrusion         : inactive
+    Front-Panel Lockout       : inactive
+    Drive Fault               : false
+    Cooling/Fan Fault         : false
+    Sleep Button Disable      : not allowed
+    Diag Button Disable       : not allowed
+    Reset Button Disable      : not allowed

+    Sleep Button Disabled     : false
+    Diag Button Disabled      : false
+    Reset Button Disabled     : false
